#28: The “Rules” of Texting
I don’t know about you, but I’ve certainly had that voice in my head that tells me not to text back immediately because it might show I’m too keen, or the other side might start writing longer messages, and I’ll need to keep responding to them immediately even though I no longer want to.

I don’t know where that voice comes from, but it comes to visit every now and then. How liberating it would be to know that people see texting back immediately as a sign of respect. But that’s the thing about generational changes – they affect everyone. So, I’ll have to keep delaying my replies for now.
